Some things (e.g. Slack calls) will not work in Firefox. It’s pretty annoying. Personally I still use Firefox.
If we are talking about a paid service (like slack), not supporting firefox imo means it is a bad product. A service for which one pays for should not force them use a specific browser. This is essentially an argument of not using slack, not firefox.
I keep seeing Edge mentioned as a worthy alternative, and I just don't get it. First, all Chromium-based browsers will eventually block uBlock Origin for the sole reason that they can't maintain Manifest v2 on their own, and they all rely on Chrome's Web Store anyway. This won't happen immediately because Manifest v2 will probably stick around for longer because of enterprise users, but the writing is on the wall. Th…

People who don't see the problem with Edge must all be domain joined or on Pro for Workstations / Enterprise. Supposedly the browser doesn't annoy "confirmed" business customers as much. I recently switched to the RC Insider ring just to get the EU digital markets update, which lets you uninstall Edge. Because it started doing incredibly creepy stuff. * Keeps asking me every day if I want to keep my new tab extension…
Fear Microsoft.
Decades of Microsoft breaking the law, anticompetitive behavior, and just acting like scum. And openai took their money. Openai is in bed with them. To me, this means openai's intentions are clear.
Because only scum, take money, and partner with scum.

I don't know.. but.. it's the way people may use the computer. A former colleague used exactly one window, no matter if it's word or any other software. And most important: the other programs have to be closed, firstly, before switching to eg. browsing. Even my 85y old grandfather who bought his first computer with 73y is capable to use more then 2 windows at once. So for me, i work with chrome, edge and Firefox (mai…
450 open tabs? I really have to think it would be worth the time to adapt to using some kind of clipping/note-taking software instead.
Just got used to it and I fear notes will be the same like favorites in the browser :)

I don't use 3D modeling software, but I use a browser for like... 95% of my day. Any minor UX differences are going to be like nails on a chalkboard, given that. It's no wonder why people don't want to switch, really.
If you can't replace your handheld drill to another model because no other model "fits your hand that well", all the other carpenters in the market are going to have an edge over you.

yet huge ux changes between chrome updates are fine? *ponderingfaceemoji

Oh it was, and a lot, by both pro-Brexit parties and advocates, you probably don't remember. They kept pointing at Switzerland and Norway as arguments of how well you can succeed without the EU.
There's a difference between saying "it's possible to exist without EU - see countries X and Y as an example" and "if we leave EU we will turn immediately into country X or Y". The first is reasonable argument, the second is completely ridiculous.

I use Vivaldi (and firefox before that) but a reason to use Edge is because it's supposedly very resource-efficient.
What percentage of users actually, really care how marginally more efficient their web browser is these days?

Yeah, you're switching browsers not 3D modelling software. It's easy people. Switch to Firefox today.

Absolutely monster analogy. After working for a year in 3DSMax, back in the day, someone asked me to show them something in Lightwave. I couldn't find my way about anything. There is also a far far bigger difference between IDEs than between browsers even if compare only the big names. Compare Visual Studio, IntelliJ and Eclipse. All the browsers are same. They were all the same for 10 years. Single window or MDI. Th…
As an emacs user in large part to avoid this, yes it us that hard.
It pains me to say that though since I want people to switch to Firefox so it can win against these spyware-laden browsers.
